I installed Ubuntu today for the first time on a Dell desktop running Windows XP sp3. I opted to install on a second hard drive, following these instructions: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/07/23/dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-...

When I reboot my computer, and enter the boot sequence menu in BIOS, there isn't even an entry for my second hard drive.

[ubuntu] Boot Order Change 3 years 28 weeks ago

Hey, everyone!

My problem isn't actually in Linux, but most people here seem to be pretty knowledgeable about computers as well, so I figured I'd ask.

I had an old laptop that I had Ubuntu and MS vista dual booting. Everything worked fine, then the motherboard went and the computer was unusable. I got a new laptop with Windows 7 on it. With the new laptop I set it up to boot via USB first in the bios. I took the old hard dive from the broken computer and hooked it up through USB.

I am trying to install F17 on a Asus G75 Laptop. I shrank the Window7 partition using the windows disk management utility. Then installed F17 using a installation DVD. To boot the DVD I set the BIOS Boot Option Priority to “P2: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT51M” and installed Fedora without any problem. I removed the install DVD to reboot the computer.

[ubuntu] Hard Drive Detection 40 weeks 5 days ago

I have two hard drives in my computer. The first is a 128GB ssd with windows 7 installed. The second is a 1TB, used for file storage etc. I decided to wipe the second hard drive and install ubuntu onto it. Installation went fine, until my computer restarted.

In my bios settings the disk with ubuntu was set as the master boot.

I searched for an answer, but was unable to find...

1. I have little knowledge of Ubuntu, I am using 12.10 (I tried Ubuntu several years ago). 2. I built a computer, ufei bios, multiple hard drives, SSD and two sata 6. Windows 7 is on the SSD, (drive C:), Ubuntu is on a sata 6 (drive F:).

After some consideration, I decided to install Backtrack 5 R3 on my spare hard drive. I was able to boot via the live dvd, enter bt5, and install bt5 on my external hard drive(was a full format then clean install). After restarting, I changed my bios settings to read the external hard drive first, it went through the HP splash screen and then hung on a black screen.
